I'd like someone to enlighten me as to what exactly goes on with aptitude when I want a kernel.

As we all know, there's pretty much the following kernel option:

1. linux-image-generic

2. linux-image-server

3. linux-image-virtual

This morning I did an install and it had linux-image-generic on it, so I ran the following:

apt-get -y remove linux-image-*

This removed all my kernels as expected, I followed suit with running:

apt-get install linux-image-virtual

Says I've installed linux-image-server!?

Am I missing something here, because I checked twice and it did it twice, however if I manually select a kernel (in my instance I used: linux-image-2.6.35-30-virtual) it will install linux-image-virtual.

This seems rather strange to me?

Details: Running Ubuntu 9.10

Am I missing something? :)
